Contact a living history museum with a stocked doctor's office or apothecary. I know the Drug Store at Living History Farms in Des Moines has a fully stocked drug inventory of look-a-likes, and the research group that put it together spent a lot of time doing what you're looking in to. They were able to successfully replicate the look of their entire inventory.

Macomb and the Civil War, my sesquicentennial blog about life in Western Illinois during the war years.

The look-alikes, along with other info, was posted on this forum a while back. It's based on a Squib Pannier inventory. I copied it off, and turned it into a spreadsheet. Anybody who wants it can PM me with their email and I'll be glad to send a copy.
